Friends of mine have used both Buchanan and Woody's Wheel Works, don't remember what they spent but all were satisfied with the end product.

Finding a good wheel smith today is getting harder every year, I think it's going to become more of a lost art in the future.

I actually contemplated starting a spoke wheel rebuilding service as a retirement business. Could not find anyone who would teach me the skill properly, and the business plan could not show a profit in a reasonable amount of time so i dropped the idea.
There is a lot more to it than meets the eye at first look.

Josh confirmed that the price Buchanan was about twice as high to lace them up.

Mock Up

Josh is starting to put the bike back together to check clearances and fitament. Everything is very loose but it gives us an idea. He is developing a smaller fender for the rear that will work with the seat pan. You can see that in some of the pictures. Here are some pictures. If you see old nuts and bolts used, these are test wheels and tires obviously, everything is on order, the bike will have new everything, Josh just wanted to get some kind of rolling chassis to make sure everything is layed out, this is the time to make changes before final paint.
